FAR-RIGHT group Britain First were left blushing after their attempts to glorify the Army faced a backlash from the regiment wanting to distance themselves.

The army asked far-right group Britian-first to take down a post praising soldiers

The political party posted a photo on their Facebook page of a group of soldiers on parade holding their weapons accompanied by the caption: "How many likes for the Royal Anglians, the "Vikings"! Britain First."

But their attempts at patriotism were rebuffed after a post from the administrator of The Royal Anglian Regiment Facebook page politely asked them to remove the photo from their page.

The original post has been deleted but parody group Britain Furst posted it on their page with the caption: "Apply cold water to burn."

The Royal Anglian Regiment asked for the post to be removed

The Royal Anglian Regiment's comment says: "Please could you remove this photograph from your page. Thank you."

It is believed the photograph is actually a stock image which has been used since 2013 for various stories to do with the army or the Royal Anglians.

This isn't the first time the anti-immigration group has been ridiculed.

This isn't the first time the anti-immigration group has been ridiculed.

Members of the party travelled to Northern Ireland to warn the Irish about "problems associated with Muslims" and had their picture taken outside a mosque - which was in fact the town hall.

Always keen to appear as a major, serious, political party they promised "hundreds of patriots" would be at a "National Day of Action" in Rochester but embarrassingly less than 100 people turned up and they were outnumbered by local residents and anti-fascist protesters.

Another time they mistakenly raised £1,300 for a refugee council after a fundraising page was set up to coincide with their march against the opening of a mega-mosque in Burton-upon-Trent.
